In very windy conditions, the first round brought only one sub-49
clocking (by Samuel Matete – 48.98). The semi-finals saw most of the
top runners unfurl their banners. Al-Somaily set a national record in
taking the first race in 48.14, with Mori (48.40), the surprising
Gorbenko (48.40) and Januszewsi (48.42) all qualifying. Herbert
(48.38) and Carter (48.48) were the other (^2Heat winners, the latter earning
boos from the crowd by his taunting his opposition on the run-in.
Al-Somaily led from the gun in the final, with Carter and Herbert his
closest pursuers. Taylor moved up from 4th at the 8th barrier to second
at the last hurdle, and finally caught Al-Somaily with his last stride.
Taylor became the 10th fastest of all-time and only the third man (after
Morgan Taylor in ’24 and Akii-Bua in ’72) to have won from the confines
of lane 1.
